Nucleus Spherical in shape. Largest structure in the cell. Responsible for cell reproduction.

. Controls cell activities including repair of worn-out parts. Needed for cell to stay alive. Contains chromosome. Chromosome (a part of the nucleus) Long thread-like structures. Made up of proteins and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Presence of genes which contain hereditary materials. Passed down from their parents to their offspring. Cell membrane Thin membrane surrounding the cell.

Vacuole Fluid-filed spaces within the cytoplasm. Store water and other nutrients needed for the organism to survive. Small, numerous and temporary in animal cells. Lysosome Round organelles surrounded by a membrane. Contains digestive enzymes. Digestion of cell nutrients take place here. Nuclear membrane The membrane that surrounds the nucleus. Mitochondrion Spherical to rod-shaped organelles with a double membrane. Inner membrane infolded many times forming cristae. Converts energy stored in glucose into adenosine triphosphate for the cell. Nucleolus An organelle within the nucleus. Where ribosomal RNA is produced. Ribosome Small organelles composed of RNA-rich cytoplasmic granules that are sites of protein synthesis.

Partially permeable
Boundary between cell and external environment. Controls substances entering or leaving the cell. Cytoplasm Jelly-like substances. Contains chemicals and other tiny structures that carry out special functions. Golgi apparatus A flattened, layered, sac-like organelle Produces the membranes that surround the lysosomes.

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum A vast system of interconnected, membranous, infolded and convoluted sacks that are in the cytoplasm. The ribosome covering it gives a rough appearance. Transport materials through the cell and produces proteins. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum A vast system of interconnected, membranous, infolded and convoluted tubes that are in the cytoplasm.

Muscle tissue (Contractile tissue) Helps the body move by contracting. Collections of muscle cells. Complex tissue Contains several types of cells. Examples: Connective tissue, nervous tissue, glandular tissue. Connective tissue

Transports materials through the cell.


Contains enzymes and produces and digest lipids and membrane proteins. Smoother Endoplasmic Reticulum buds off from rough endoplasmic reticulum to move the newly-made proteins and lipids to the golgi body and membranes.

To connect different part of an organ or organs together.


Tissue found inside or between organs. Made up of a few types of cells. Nervous tissue Detecting changes and transmitting messages within the body. Epithelial tissue To protect the body from injuries. Sheets of cells which covers both internal and external surfaces. The sheets of cells covering the external surfaces is are called epidermis.

Made up of organs
Contains specialized cells and tissue. Tissue Same type of cells form a tissue. Examples: epithelial tissue (epithelium), muscle tissue (contractile tissue), epidermis (plant). Different tissues may be united to form an organ. Different tissues work together to perform a specific function.

Small, numerous and temporary in animal cells. Chloroplast Contains chlorophyll which is needed to absorb energy from the Sun to photosynthesis.

Cell wall
A thick layer surrounding the cell membrane. Made up of cellulose. Supports the cell. Gives the cell a regular shape. Golgi apparatus
